And unlike any point in the last four years, that month? Actually felt like a month. "During former President Donald Trump's time in office, the passage of time seemed to slip loose of the bounds that once constrained it," Hayes Brown writes. "Days seemed to contain years’-worth of news. Months seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye. It was only when you paused to consider what you’d just lived through that those months revealed that they actually contained several eternities." But without the absolute chaos of Trump and his staff's wild whiplash-inducing run of scandals and racist policies, time seems to be flowing normally again. Thank goodness.
